Named for American Rifleman's most senior field editor, and designed with his recommendations in mine, the Colt Wiley Clapp Stainless Commander .45 ACP pistol is a 1911 built for 1911 aficionados. With a wide-notched Novak drift-adjustable rear sight, a brass bead front and a 3 lbs. 3 oz. trigger, this is a true piece of, as Wiley would say, "fightin' iron". For more on this excellent 1911, check out this "Rifleman Review" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
